How a front tire should wear

[dcarver]

Check it out.. worn out sides, tread in center? Yep, this is a Candy Butt Association tire!

I still think the thrifty types should work out an exchange program with the Kansas and Nebraska riders....

That looks rather impressive on an FJR

I'm not sure... I ride like a wimp (mostly) and my XJR (1300SP) tyre (front) looks just like that and needs replacement... I put it down to under inflation but then checked pressure and it did not seem too bad but maybe gauge was inaccurate (i measured around 2.5Bar) Keen to hear other responses for another cause...

That is awesome, I'm not worthy....

I would like to see you try that in Iowa.

Hey, I resemble that remark!! :lol:

Sure, but what does the grinder look like?

Huh?

I've never seen a front tire on an FJR that doesn't have a little unworn area (chicken strip) before. Even when the back is worn to the edges, the front generally has a little left unworn.

That tire must have a very shallow profile or, as previously suggested, have had a close relationship with an angle grinder...

Oh yeah!!!!!! At least I wear out the center too!!!!!!!

Showoff :angry: :angry:

Nice job................I wish I had roads with enough corners to pull that one off.

You're coming into summer...you don't need know stink'in grooves, it ain't gonna rain for a while. Uh, I mean you got a bunch of miles left in that tire :lol:

You get more traction with slicks B)

Looks like purely a track day tire. I've never had the opportunity or luck to wear one out like that, even though I live in the Rockies and hunt the twisties. Wow!

every other mile I zig zag down the straight aways across KS to even out the wear!

Purely from a physics standpoint, it would appear that tire rotation was rather slow when it was leaned over so far,

thus making it even more impressive. :nea:
